Happy Halloween!

I have a feeling that every "holiday" from now on will be more magical and fun as Carter gets older and learns the traditions and meanings of each occasion. This is the first Halloween that he understood the whole idea of dressing up in a costume and going trick-or-treating. And both he and Grace loved every minute of it.

We started off on Friday night with a costume party. Grace was a bumblebee and I was a flower. Carter was a monkey. And not just any ole monkey. He was Curious George. Scott played (and looked) the part of the Man with Yellow Hat perfectly. I wish I had a full length shot of him in the costume!

Tonight, we headed over to my cousin Ashley's house and took pics of Grace and Carter with her two youngest kiddos, Cece and Graham.

Here is Carter with Mary Katherine (my cousin Leigh Ann's daughter). Carter has a huge crush on MK, and I have a feeling she a big reason that he is so excited about gaining a big sister. :)

Carter loved the fog machine. And he kept sticking his tongue out as if he could taste it. I admit...it does smell like roasted marshmallows.

Grace discovered Cece's Disney princess CD player...

and wouldn't put it down the whole night. Hmm...we do have a birthday AND Christmas coming up.

Will is still have the same effect when it's hers?

Carter got into his role as a monkey and began climbing trees.

And appropriately, he rolled around in the monkey grass.

I love the wonder in his eyes!

If today was any indication, the next few months of holiday festivities are going to be really fun.
